At the beginning and the middle and the end of all things, there is only the perfection of enlightenment that is nirvana.

Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.

To overcome stress you have to find out something. You've got to do some research and homework. You need to find out who you are today.

Wisdom, in the world of enlightenment, is not gained through conversation. Wisdom and enlightenment is something that you gain by making the mind still.

You might say living in a monastery cuts down the commutation time. That alone gives you a couple extra hours a day to meditate. In a monastery you lead a relatively simply life. You don't need a lot of possessions.
